Perhaps Simon Cowell should read this thread on money saving!

To get the feel of a luxury paper against your body, use a sheet of expensive stuff on top of a sheet of cheap stuff.
To get 3 thicknesses from 2 sheets, fold a rectangle of 2 sheets into 3, simples! Makes it about the right width, ie about the same as a gusset.
Cushelle/Charmin is dreadful stuff for blocking drains.

why not use a Shattaf Muslim Shower Wudu Bidet Spray, never have to buy paper again, and good for the environment and keeps you clean

Hold your cheeks apart so you have to use less, simplest trick ive developed over the years!

It beggers belief that tampax, sanitary towels, condoms, lubrication, nappies wept wipes etc & toilet roll are not made by a government dept and sold at cost price instead of companies making large profits, surely a right to hygenic sanitation aswell as raw foods should be a right not income dependent for a healthier society.

Makes you wonder how much NHS costs really come from lack of affordability &/or education in many personal hygenie & health issues.

I always buy toilet paper on promotion or cheaper recycled, I refuse to pay full "average" price for toilet roll & thus I wipe my a$$ with their greedy profits.

Anyone know the best cheap & comfortable options for recycled toilet paper ?

Nisa Heritage brand was 4 for £1 and it was very decent quality for the price & was better than some "brands" double the price for 2!!!

Nisa seems to have replaced it with 3 more "brand" names now in its shelf place though :rollseyes:

Profits over poo you might say lol

I bought loads of 9 or 12 packs of decent branded TP on offer before my divorce in 2007 - I still have a lot left. Mind, it helps to have a spare room and no visitors!:rotfl:

I use 3 sheets at a time but fold it in 2 after the first wipe - thus 2 wipes for every 3 sheets!

Remove the toilet seat so women won't use your toilet along with half a roll of TP on each visit!

Which part of your house would you prefer women to poo in then?

I remember many a time, getting a wet behind, from forgetting to check the toilet seat when I lived at home with my parents because I think my Dad must have had a hole in the size of his willy as it always went over the seat. He never lifted it up.

How to wipe with a single sheet (I learned this trick on camp with the TA about 20 years ago):

• Take a single sheet of TP
• Fold it in half
• Fold in half again the other way so you're left with a small square
• Tear off the corner where the fold meet
• Open up the folded sheet
• Stick one finger through the hole in the middle & wipe!
• Hope you didn't discard the corner you tore off - That's for cleaning under your nails afterwards!

This thread is fascinating as it inadvertently on covered the spread on am Urban Myth as per the quoted example.

It appeared several times throughout the thread always attributed to a different source (TA, Marines etc)

As with any urban myth the people involved have acquired knowledge of the myth, intentionally to post an outlandish comment as their own or "I heard it from....", or have been unintentionally duped into accepting it as original idea from another source.

Either way, by its multiple appearance, the myth is unravelled as such and the original author, as with any myth, remains unknown....

Fascinating!
